Most buildings let light and heat through their windows. Air conditioning may be required to cool the excess heat. This can waste energy that could have been used for other purposes. Blinding sunlight can cause discomfort to the occupant. The Louvre screen is a durable design covering that can be placed on windows to reduce heat and light. The screen’s unique design protects occupants against adverse weather conditions such as strong winds. These are great additions to any building.
Louvre screens are made of fine bronze wire mesh, which is twice as thick as human hair. Each meter of mesh has over 700 micro-louvers. Each screen is angled to reflect the solar heat from the sun.
They are installed on the facade of a building.
- -Solar heat is absorbed and dissipated
- -Provide privacy and protection
- -Provide unfiltered sunlight to occupants
- -Provides protection against light glares and solar heat
- -Preserve perfect vision with full color rendered natural lighting
The Louvre screens have the following features:
- Anodized or Polyester powder are used for framing
- Internal reinforcement is used to conceal the frame corners
- Pre-bowed top and bottom frames reduce deflection
- Corrosive-resistant materials are used for fasteners, anchors, and hardware
- Each louver measures 0.3mm thick by 1.2mm in width
- For durability, each louver is coated in black polyester
- To eliminate light reflection and heat, the louvers are light-absorbing.
The Louvre’s functionality:
- -Provides complete shading when the sun angle is greater than 40 degrees
- -Provides 32 percent shading at very low angles
- Can absorb up to 92 percent of the sun’s radiation. The screen absorbs up to 82 percent of the heat from the sun and radiates it outwards. This reduces to 86% heat gain, resulting in the building being naturally cooled.
Allows for proper ventilation and allows for air circulation with a 79 percent open area
These are just a few of the frames and screens worth your attention:
Durable frames – Frames are anti-vibration. This allows for panel integrity to be maintained even at winds exceeding 100 mph.
Fire-resistant material – Micro louvre wall screens comply with the current legislation regarding external products for high-rise buildings. Because they are fire-resistant, they can be used in bushfire areas.
Lightweight metal fabrics: The screens are made of lightweight metal fabric that weighs in at 2.43 lbs per square meter. The entire screen is only 5.3lbs. Because they are so lightweight, they can be easily fitted to any building with minimal interference.
Hurricane proof structure: Their Clear Open Area (COA), 80%, and lightweight construction offer little resistance to water. They are therefore capable of surviving Hurricanes.
The Louvre screens offer many advantages
They reduce the cost of air conditioning
Louvre frames are available in a variety of materials and can be made to any size or shape. They can also be modified to fit any shape.
They are light and easy to install or retrofit.
Their design is strong enough to withstand strong winds and hurricanes. Wind resistance up to 100 mph
They offer unobscured visibility outward
-Offers Directional Privacy. Occupants can see outside but can’t see inside.
-Reduce outside noise by half
They can be used in both high-rise and low-rise buildings.
The screen’s fine materials keep insects away. This screen is effective in pest and insect control.
-Superb aesthetics. You can customize the frame and louvers within to meet your architectural needs.
